You
Have Always Wanted To Teach Yourself Music...

By following the
music course contained in Pizzicato, if you are a
beginner, you will gradually learn:

What are the components of the music language

How music is written

What is the link between the score and what you hear

How to play simple scores on a music keyboard

How to start composing your own music

"Pizzicato is a Midi software for computer
musical training. Many practical and theoretical exercises
make it a complete and progressive method which also
approaches the essence of Computer Aided Music without
preliminary knowledge."

Micro & Music

The music course
of Pizzicato contains a series of progressive lessons explaining step by
step
how music works.

Even without
being a musician, you already heard about the notes C, D, E, F,
G, A, B.

They are the
first letters of music.

Using practical and
illustrated examples, Pizzicato helps you discover notes and
rhythms, the staff, clefs, as well as the various graphic symbols
found in a score.

Between the
theory lessons, you may directly put theory into practice by using the
basic score
writing functions of Pizzicato Light.

You can
therefore write your notes and rhythms and listen to them. You
already go into the active phase!

Learning
And Playing The Music Keyboard

Once you
understand the basics of music notation and you can add notes to
the staff, Pizzicato provides a series of progressive exercises
to learn to
read simple scores on the screen.

If you have a
musical keyboard connected to your computer, you will be able to
practice the exercises with it.

You may also use
the computer keyboard or the keyboard window on the screen:

"This software helps you to learn music, to
make your first steps with the musical keyboard and to be
familiarized with the basic tools to write a score"

All
right. Understanding music is a first step. Starting to read a
score and play it on the keyboard is a second step. You are now
ready for the next step...

Compose
Your Own Music!

You will then be
able to read several lessons about music composition, and to make
exercises
thanks to the demonstration version of Pizzicato Professional,
included in Pizzicato Light.

These lessons
gradually guide you and explain you chords and how to
sequence them to create a starting musical harmony.

Exercises are
provided in order to bring you to structure chords by practice
and experience.

Then, other
exercises help you find a
melody based on chords and also accompaniment melodies.

Slightly, you
start to create your first chord progressions and melodies. In
other words, you start composing!

"The idea is to allow anyone - even the one
who has never seen a computer in his life or who ignores what
a note is - to become a musician without difficulty."
